UG5(c) Common Core Requirements

Unless otherwise prescribed in the curriculum regulations, students are required to successfully complete 36 credits of Common Core courses, with at least one course (6 credits) from each Area of Inquiry (AoI) and not more than two (12 credits) from any AoI.

The number of courses required and the year and semester in which they are taken vary from programme to programme. (Please refer to the below to find out the requirements for your programme.) You are advised to check the accuracy of the information in the table with your home Faculty before choosing courses.

Please note that whatever the requirements for your programme, you are not allowed to take more than four courses within an academic year (except for students who are required to make up for failed credits as well as those who take courses offered in the summer semester which is optional). In addition, Common Core courses cannot be taken as free electives.
